had a president and congress, but the power was based in the states.
                  The USA was made up of the Northeastern and upper Midwestern states. Wisconsin and Illinois were the westernmost states while Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland the southern states. The border between the two was heavily fortified and the ISA had a mile wide strip on their side that had fences, landmines and machineguns that were wired to sensors and would fire automatically. Just the hundreds of thousands of claymore mines discouraged any uninvited incursions.
                  The ISA was made up of 16 southern states stretching from Virginia to Arizona. Missouri, Kansas and Iowa wanted to join, but were still occupied on one side by the USA and the other by the Mexican Drug Cartels.
                  The Pacific States of America was made up of all of the West Coast states plus Alaska and Nevada. With LA, San Francisco and Seattle nuked they became very conservative, but did not want to join the ISA. They enjoyed the protection of the ISA’s Pacific fleet, which was based in Hawaii. The ISA kept control of the San Diego Naval base and 10 miles around it in payment for the protection. The ISA also took the top 10 miles of Mexico below San Diego to help protect the base. The PSA was not as prosperous as the ISA, but was doing very well. While they did not totally embrace the strict conservative philosophy, they were far more conservative than the old USA and made sure that everyone worked that could and every one paid taxes. The PSA was continuously fighting small border wars with the Drug Cartels that had taken over Mexico after the TSHTF (the shit hit the fan). The ISA had been a big help with Intel and air cover for the major battles. The ISA also funded the ongoing battle along the entire length of the old USA border that was the main line of defense between the ISA and PSA with the lawless Mexican Cartels.
                  The USA was particularly upset about four major issues. The first was that the ISA had deported its entire poor and disadvantaged people to the USA and Mexico. The ISA always countered that they were offered work and refused. The story goes that John Harris gave them a choice of where to go, but they could not stay in the ISA unless they worked and contributed. Several thousand were shot when they rioted and burned a town to the ground. The USA took their case to the UN, but the ISA sent a note to the UN saying, “We do not recognize the UN and any attempt to meddle in the ISA’s affairs will be considered an act of war.”
                  The second issue was that most of the old USA’s military had defected and joined the ISA making it the major power in the world. They defected because the President would not retaliate against the perpetrators of the nuclear attack by our friends and enemies. He wanted to negotiate with our enemies, but bombed and killed thousands in the breakaway states led by Harris. Most of the remaining Navy battle groups were now stationed in Hawaii, San Diego and the Gulf or at Charleston protecting the ISA and making it the only major nuclear power.
                  The third issue was that the ISA had helped the far western states to secede from the USA and become the Pacific States of America.
                  The fourth was that the ISA was blamed for the deaths of two USA Presidents and over 3,000 Liberal leaders in 2024. The truth was that the Presidents and 3,000 of the ringleaders were tried in a court of law, found guilty of high crimes and treason and legally executed. Both Presidents and one VP were directly responsible for the deaths of over 50 million Americans and at least 100 million Europeans.
                  The UN tried to take advantage of the now weakened USA and thought they could become the dominate power. The UN was then made up of mainly Middle Eastern and African
